Synopsis:

Jen
Appleton is the woman who always says yes. To her boss. To her
employees. To charity. To everyone except herself. But when she
rear-ends a red Porsche on her way home from a nasty day at work, and
the man driving the midlife-crisis cliché turns out to be hot, hot,
hot, Jen decides tonight’s the night to say yes to things she’s
never said yes to before.

Yes,
to a one-night stand in a motel.

Yes,
to the hottest night on record.

Yes,
to anything Garrett Tracy wants to do to her body.

Garrett
knows the chemistry between them can only be described as extreme.
But it’s just one night. And then he can get back to work
convincing his ex-girlfriend to give him another shot.

When
Jen approaches Garrett as the only person in Chicago who might solve
her massive work problem, he agrees to help—on the condition that
Jen will coach him in winning back his ex. As they work on their
projects, Jen and Garrett can’t resist the incredible attraction
sparking between them. It’s the perfect friends-with-benefits
situation. Until Jen’s heart finally forces her to start saying no

Review: Fast Ride is the first book by Michelle Dayton that I've read. Color me impressed. I love finding new authors. This is a quick read, less than 200 pages. To be honest, I've always found this to the be about the perfect length for a romance novel. Its all those Harlequin novels I read in high school.

Michelle crafted characters that were fun and likable. Jen and Garrett really have a great chemistry together and the premise of getting Jen to help him win back his ex is a great one. Now granted since this is a romance novel you know how things are going to end up, but it is a wild ride getting there.The sex between Jen and Garrett is so hot that the pages sizzle. It is really hard to figure out what Garrett sees in Melissa, because they really don't seem to have anything in common, when anytime he's with Jen, they have a great time, and well lots of smoking hot sex.Yeah, there's a lot of sex here. My dad would call this a smut novel and I wouldn't argue with him, but its the good kind of smut novel because the characters actual have feelings for each other and well, when Garrett went to visit Jen's work friend in the hospital, well you know he's a great guy.

Totally a fun read! It is perfect for a day at the beach. I look forward to reading more of Michelle's books.

There are only three things Michelle Dayton
loves more than sexy and suspenseful novels: her family, the city of
Chicago, and Mr. Darcy. Michelle dreams of a year of world travel –
as long as the trip would include weeks and weeks of beach time. As a
bourbon lover and unabashed wine snob, Michelle thinks heaven is
discussing a good book over an adult beverage
